Answer:
D. The sum of twice number and six is no more than five.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the inequality,

The number (n) is multiplied by (2), therefore options (A) and (B) can be ruled out since they have the statement, "twice the sum of a number and six". Moreover, one can see the inequality sign indicates that this value is less than or equal to (5). Thus, one of the possible solutions to this equation is (5), therefore, option (C) is incorrect. Therefore, the only remaining correction option is option (D).
So,
We are trying to figure out when Grandpa Lopez's age was twice that of Dad.
Let x represent the number of years before/after when G. Lopez's age was twice that of Dad.
66 + x = 2(37 + x)
Distribute.
66 + x = 74 + 2x
Subtract x from both sides.
66 = 74 + x
Subtract 74 from both sides.
-8 = x
So 8 years ago, G. Lopez was twice as old as Dad. Let's check that.
66 - 8 = 58
37 = 8 = 29
29 * 2 = 58
58 = 58
It checks.
Answer: x = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+5 = 3x-6
2x-3x = -6-5
-x = -11
x = 11
Double-check:
11*2= 22 11*3=33
22+5 = 27 33-6= 27
